Where do you think it got it’s name?

Pepperidge farm remembers.

This is false. They aren’t really that much heavier, 1k lb or so. It’s not the weight that tears up tires it’s the instant and 100% torque when you hit the accelerator. If you go easy on the launches your tires will last longer.

Just did, again no issue.

I sent it from my tmo number to my GV number. I can do the inverse as a test too but I don’t think anything will change.

GV is a voip carrier.

I texted myself “fuck this” and it went through no problem.

I just tested this myself between tmo and GV and no censorship here.

Everyone should have a main account with a local credit union and then secondary accounts with whatever “fintech” banks you want. I keep multiple accounts and everything flows through a local account first and then gets moved elsewhere. Currently I’m using revolut as my secondary to help budgeting.

What?

Shhh, you’re exposing our top secret plan.

I’m in Duke energy territory and the past few years they have been really getting their act together. It doesn’t make it better than a coop model but they have been extremely proactive about clearing trees and anything else that would interfere with the lines as well as adding new capacity to the existing lines, adding/upgrading/replacing poles that are holding more weight than they should, etc.

I meant to mention in another comment that I was utility locate tech for a couple of years so in addition to my standard geek creds, I have a deeper understanding of this and see it from a different angle than the average citizen.

Personally we are planning on getting some solar panels installed hopefully this year or early next year, that along with a large enough battery and a v2h adapter (when it becomes an option for my car) will make us virtually immune to outages.

That isn’t over construction, that’s under production of electricity. My city has a literal fuck ton of manufacturing all over and we have no rolling black outs and very little outages even with most of the lines above ground. We do get our power from a nuclear plant so that definitely helps.

A lot of these energy issues are hyper local. Texas for example is the worst in the country for maintenance, price, outages, etc and it’s not solely because of the weather.

It is extremely expensive and arduous to bury lines that have been aerial for decades. The cost to bury existing lines is exponentially greater than the cost to keep fixing them as needed for decades. New lines are sometimes buried depending on whether it’s an upgrade to existing infrastructure, power going to a new neighborhood, etc.

Do yourself a favor and look into exactly what it would take just to get approval from the city, county, etc and right of way from the various owners of land where you want to bury them. Not to mention the hell that would cause for traffic when you have to shut down roads to go under them or worst case tear them up and replace them.

I am not giving the utility companies a pass here but it’s not as easy as some people seem to think it is.

That was likely intentional.

Why didn’t they think your penis was real?
